I received a private communication from Licia,
responding a bit to the Bownas material I posted. Her
message and my reply have personal dimensions
seemingly not relevant to F-T. However, I wrote the
following about dating the prophecy episodes, and wish
to share my comments.
"I haven't been able to assign a specific date to the
Bownas prophecy episodes. However, they appear close
to the beginning of the journal, and he refers to his
youth and that of Isaac Alexander. A few pages later,
the date of 1701 appears. I conjecture that the
prophecy episodes occurred by 1700 or, more likely,
the 1690s.
I wonder if there are other similar narratives in the
early Quaker literature."
